The de facto standard text for heat transfer - noted for its readability, comprehensiveness and relevancy. Now revised to include clarified learning objectives, chapter summaries and many new problems. The fourth edition, like previous editions, continues to support four student learning objectives, desired attributes of any first course in heat transfer: * Learn the meaning of the terminology and physical principles of heat transfer delineate pertinent transport phenomena for any process or system involving heat transfer. * Use requisite inputs for computing heat transfer rates and/or material temperatures. * Develop representative models of real processes and systems and draw conclusions concerning process/systems design or performance from the attendant analysis.
This book provides engineers with the tools to solve real-world heat transfer problems. It includes advanced topics not covered in other books on the subject. The examples are complex and timely problems that are inherently interesting. It integrates Maple, MATLAB, FEHT, and Engineering Equation Solver (EES) directly with the heat transfer material.
Introduction to heat and mass transfer for advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering students, used in classrooms for over 38 years and updated regularly. Topics include conduction, convection, radiation, and phase-change. 2019 edition.
Heat Transfer Engineering: Fundamentals and Techniques reviews the core mechanisms of heat transfer and provides modern methods to solve practical problems encountered by working practitioners, with a particular focus on developing engagement and motivation. The book reviews fundamental concepts in conduction, forced convection, free convection, boiling, condensation, heat exchangers and mass transfer succinctly and without unnecessary exposition. Throughout, copious examples drawn from current industrial practice are examined with an emphasis on problem-solving for interest and insight rather than the procedural approaches often adopted in courses. The book contains numerous important solved and unsolved problems, utilizing modern tools and computational sources wherever relevant. A subsection on common issues and recent advances is presented in each chapter, encouraging the reader to explore a greater diversity of problems. - Reveals physical solutions alongside their application in practical problems, with an aim of generating interest from reality rather than dry exposition - Reviews pertinent, contemporary computational tools, including emerging topics such as machine learning - Describes the complexity of modern heat transfer in an engaging and conversational style, greatly adding to the uniqueness and accessibility of the book
The philosophy of the text is based on the development of an inductive approach to the formulation and solution of applied problems. Explores the principle that heat transfer rests on, but goes beyond, thermodynamics. Ideal as an introduction to engineering heat transfer.
This best-selling book in the field provides a complete introduction to the physical origins of heat and mass transfer.

This new text integrates fundamental theory with modern computational tools such as EES, MATLAB®, and FEHT to equip students with the essential tools for designing and optimizing real-world systems and the skills needed to become effective practicing engineers. Real engineering problems are illustrated and solved in a clear step-by-step manner. Starting from first principles, derivations are tailored to be accessible to undergraduates by separating the formulation and analysis from the solution and exploration steps to encourage a deep and practical understanding. Numerous exercises are provided for homework and self-study and include standard hand calculations as well as more advanced project-focused problems for the practice and application of computational tools. Appendices include reference tables for thermophysical properties and answers to selected homework problems from the book. Complete with an online package of guidance documents on EES, MATLAB®, and FEHT software, sample code, lecture slides, video tutorials, and a test bank and full solutions manual for instructors, this is an ideal text for undergraduate heat transfer courses and a useful guide for practicing engineers.
Intended as a textbook for undergraduate courses in heat transfer for students of mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, and metallurgical engineering, or as a reference for professionals in industry, this book emphasizes the clear understanding of theoretical concepts followed by practical applications. Treating each subject analytically and then numerically, it provides step-by-step solutions of numerical problems through the use of systematic procedures by a prescribed format. With more than a million users in industry, MATLAB is the most popular computing programming language among engineers. This Second Edition has been updated to include discussions on how to develop programs that solve heat transfer problems using MATLAB, which allows the student to rapidly develop programs that involve complex numerical and engineering heat transfer computations.
Introduction to Thermal and Fluid Engineering combines coverage of basic thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer for a one- or two-term course for a variety of engineering majors. The book covers fundamental concepts, definitions, and models in the context of engineering examples and case studies. It carefully explains the methods used to evaluate changes in equilibrium, mass, energy, and other measurable properties, most notably temperature. It then also discusses techniques used to assess the effects of those changes on large, multi-component systems in areas ranging from mechanical, civil, and environmental engineering to electrical and computer technologies. Includes a motivational student study guide on CD to promote successful evaluation of energy systems This material helps readers optimize problem solving using practices to determine equilibrium limits and entropy, as well as track energy forms and rates of progress for processes in both closed and open thermodynamic systems. Presenting a variety of system examples, tables, and charts to reinforce understanding, the book includes coverage of: How automobile and aircraft engines work Construction of steam power plants and refrigeration systems Gas and vapor power processes and systems Application of fluid statics, buoyancy, and stability, and the flow of fluids in pipes and machinery Heat transfer and thermal control of electronic components Keeping sight of the difference between system synthesis and analysis, this book contains numerous design problems. It would be useful for an intensive course geared toward readers who know basic physics and mathematics through ordinary differential equations but might not concentrate on thermal/fluids science much further. Written by experts in diverse fields ranging from mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering to applied mathematics, this book is based on the assertion that engineers from all walks absolutely must understand energy processes and be able to quantify them.
